How You Kiss Counts - Men Like it Juicy, Women Not So Much
[Edit]
[Edit]
Believe that the first kiss is important? Now there is research to back up that mush. The University of Albany studied 1,500 couples and said that kissing is like the first step in a check list of selecting a mate - the hopeless romantics said putting yourself at risk for Herpes Simplex shoots a hormone into your bod. Another expert said kissing promotes bonding, and still a third said it was just about the sex. Guess who feels that way most often?  "Men might use this more to seduce their partners more than women do," she said.
The researchers found support for all three theories, Hughes and her colleagues reported in the October issue of the journal Evolutionary Psychology, as well as provocative differences between men and women.
Women place more emphasis on the taste and smell of the person they kiss than men do, the researchers found.
"That clues us in that females may be using it more to make mate assessments than men," she said.
Women were also more likely to refuse to have sex with a partner unless they kissed first. More than half of the men said they would have sex without kissing first, but fewer than 15 percent of the women said the same.
